Three into it Today is our third week anniversary of actually hitting the road. It seems like forever. What is it about looking out the house windows at new territory every few days that makes this lifestyle so attractive? We went east from Portland. We’ve done this path several times in the past…

We are having a lot of these recently. I’m pretty sure today is one we’ll remember for a while. Today was the day we put Portland in our rear view mirror for the first time on our road trip. We’ve been working toward this day for almost a whole year…

Where is the RV — On my most recent trip to Taiwan everyone had questions. What Leslie and I are doing is so out of the norm for my colleagues and friends in Taiwan. It’s even strange sounding to people in the US. I thought I’d try to formulate some answers. Why aren’t you in the RV? This was back in…

Are we still New to RV’ing? It’s been over 3 months. The wife said she wanted “Happy Trails, Y’all”. Even though we couldn’t agree on how to punctuate it, I agreed to move on. So this is my last post here. https://medium.com/happy-trails-yall

The kids visit — It’s been an exciting week. The grandkids showed up with mom (our daughter Alison). It’s been 4 months and surprise, surprise, they’ve grown.

I bet my wife will want to change that name — The last update was quite a while ago. It’s been extremely busy since mid-June when Jasper and Leslie left on their Summer Southern Tour. I don’t know much of what they’ve been doing. The highlights include visiting Austin, Destin, Jackson MS, and Austin again. For me the ordeal associated with…

After months and even years, we are making progress — We have been living our life doing things for ourselves but it has been in service to someone else. We started out 45 years ago trying to meet the education goals of our parents. My folks agreed to pay for a trade school in photography if I also agreed to…

A truck, an RV, and a house — The last few weeks I’ve wanted to write about this but the time never happened. We broke through on a few issues but we still have a long way to go. The Truck! First, we ordered the truck. We looked at everything available. We settled on the RAM 3500. We worried and…
